Insights:

Fulham have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
Crystal Palace have the most points from losing position (24) in Premier League

Fulham are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Crystal Palace is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Fulham and Crystal Palace should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Fulham form and stats

The story so far in the Premier League for Fulham at their home stadium (Craven Cottage) is 8 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

Fulham are returning here after visiting Southampton and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Vinícius and Mitrović scored the goal(s). Wilson (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.8/10. Wilson served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 25 successful passes (of 28 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Leicester City in a game that was won 5-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with Fulham perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fulham as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Fulham has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.

A decent goal production from Fulham in their home games so far, with 29 goals from 18 league matches. Fulham have conceded 27 from these games.

Crystal Palace form and stats

There's been little loot from Crystal Palace's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 18 away games in the Premier League. Crystal Palace only have 4 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 4 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Crystal Palace are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Impressive finishing from Eze (2) secured the home win 2-0 against AFC Bournemouth in their previous game. Eze got a match rating of 8.8 in that game, top player of the team. Eze scored two goals, hit one key pass and had 43 successful passes (of 49 total).

A 0-1 defeat away at Tottenham Hotspur before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Palace playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 2 Crystal Palace wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Crystal Palace as they have only managed to score 17 times from 18 away games in the league.
